Over the Air Programming
OTAP is an “Over the Air” programming feature for the subscriber parameter (code plug)
files. Using the OTAP feature, parameter files can be updated and changed in the field,
eliminating the need to take the radio out of service to perform the updates. OTAP
requires conventional P25 data infrastructure. It is not supported in P25 Trunking.
Firmware updates cannot be made using this feature. Firmware version 6.6.x (ES) or later
